[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 449345, member: 1514"] Kiesta...I will be darned if I know how people do that! One time I tried to sign up for a program when my boys were little and it was before my dad trusted me and Tony much. (Do remember I was a difficult child and had to re-earn the trust in his eyes) So Tony and I were really tight money-wise and I looked for one of those Xmas programs. I found one and they gave very little but I was extremely thankful for what they gave. I certainly wouldnt have applied at more than one. Oh...but..on another level...when I was a fraud caseworker for social services I actually prosecuted a woman who scammed the program we have here in our County called Christmas Stocking fund. This woman came all the way down from the Raleigh area to my dinky poor county to apply for this fund. You only get $25 per child! She claimed 4 kids. She had "proof" of a residence in my county and said she had left her husband several months before and wasnt working. Well turns out this woman lived in Raleigh with her husband who worked for one of the big named pharmaceutical companies up there and they brought home well into the 6 figures! Her husband was sooooo embarrassed about this whole thing. It was just a joke to his wife. She had been down in my county visiting one of her relatives and decided to see if she could scam us. What a witch. [/QUOTE]
